Seeing this, the expressions of Stone Sovereign and the other Supreme Ones of the Pangu Universe darkened slightly. They knew these people were no good sort; they weren't waiting for the Chaos Heavenly Emperor to recover from his injuries and emerge from seclusion, but rather for the day the Chaos Heavenly Emperor truly fell, so they could carve up his imperial treasury.
However, Stone Sovereign and the other Supreme Ones could do nothing about their actions. They couldn't very well open their mouths and drive them away.
As time passed, the phenomena of Dao Collapse did not diminish; on the contrary, they grew increasingly intense.
The terrifying phenomena of Dao Collapse, centered on the Pangu Universe, spread across an unknown number of Realm Domains, radiating across at least a full hundred Realm Domains in breadth. It even caused signs of Dao Collapse to appear across vast territories of the Chaos Sea.
The entire world was shaken with terror!
Just how powerful was the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, for his Dao Collapse to cause such a terrifyingly vast range?
It must be known that each Realm Domain was equivalent to the vast, boundless expanse of a single Chaos Ancient Universe. A hundred Realm Domains was equivalent to the area of a hundred Chaos Ancient Universes.
A Dao Collapse that instantly radiated across the breadth of a hundred Chaos Ancient Universes could only mean that the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's strength far exceeded the world's understanding of him.
Compared to that level of cultivation, even Supreme Ones were nothing more than ants gazing up at a dragon.
Though, Supreme Ones were slightly stronger ants.
Even so, it did not in the least affect the covetous gazes of the various supreme powerhouses of the Chaos Sea upon the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's imperial treasury.
The more powerful such an invincible being was, the more it drove people mad with envy.
Once he fell, the imperial treasury he left behind would absolutely be enough to drive even Primordial Giants, and even Half-Step Overlords, to madness.
No one could remain calm at heart.
Not even the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's former invincible might could suppress it.
In this era, over half of the supreme powerhouses had gone to the Origin Land. The most powerful few Overlords of the Taishang realm had left, and that sole passage had completely closed, leading to a fracture at the highest level of power.
Therefore, Supreme Ones could now become true pinnacle powerhouses.
In this era where the strongest had departed, they saw the hope of rising. Though they could not enter the vaster, boundless Origin Land filled with the hope of attaining Eternal Dao, within this flawed primal world of the Chaos Sea, they could still rise to become the supreme masters of the Chaos Sea. And perhaps, from the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, they might also find the hope of attaining eternity.
Because the Chaos Heavenly Emperor was the invincible master of the Chaos Great Dao, and the Chaos Great Dao was the sole Eternal Great Dao within the Chaos Sea that offered hope of attaining eternity.
More and more Supreme Ones arrived one after another, coming before the Pangu Pass. Each one manifested their Supreme Ancient Halls, silently waiting outside the Pangu Pass.
Naturally, there were also many Giants who came, and even some Primordial Giants who had not gone to the Origin Land.
It could be said that outside the Pangu Pass gathered over half of the currently existing Supreme Ones and Giant-level supreme existences of the Chaos Sea. They watched with tiger-like intensity, waiting for the day the Chaos Heavenly Emperor truly experienced Dao Collapse. It was a time when a pack of tigers sought to devour a dragon!
Upon the Pangu Pass, Stone Sovereign and the other Supreme Ones saw the gathering of so many Supreme Ones and Giants from the Chaos Sea, and their hearts sank further.
It seemed the vast majority of Supreme Ones or Giants in the Chaos Sea hoped for the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's fall. Only then would the supreme treasures that could make them stronger appear.
However, they also sneered coldly.
The current Pangu Universe, even though its most powerful Taishang realm Overlord Heavenly Emperor, as well as the Battle Saint Ancestor, Tai Sheng Huang, the Spacetime Great Emperor, and a host of Half-Step Overlords and Primordial Giants had left one after another, and its peak-level power was greatly diminished...
Did they truly think the Pangu Universe was weak?
Even though the Heavenly Emperor and other supreme taboo existences had left, they had also laid down layer upon layer of supreme taboo Dao patterns within the Pangu Universe to protect it. Even the Pangu Pass itself was inscribed with many such Dao patterns. Even if a Half-Step Overlord came in person, it was not certain they could break through, let alone these Giants and Supreme Ones—they simply could not breach it.
Therefore, the various Supreme Ones of the Pangu Universe were not afraid. Even if one day, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor truly met with an accident, experiencing Dao Collapse and falling, it would not be the turn of that pack of tigers from the Chaos Sea to devour the dragon.
Moreover, within the Pangu Universe, the world regarded the Chaos Heavenly Emperor as the sole supreme deity, lofty and invincible throughout the ages. A scene of his fall was simply impossible.
They firmly believed that once the Chaos Heavenly Emperor recovered from his injuries, he would certainly mete out punishment to these many supreme powerhouses of the Chaos Sea who dared covet him!
In the blink of an eye, another three thousand years passed.
What filled the people of the Pangu Universe with thick worry was that, by now, the phenomena of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's Dao Collapse had not eased in the slightest. On the contrary, they had grown even more violent. The power of Dao Collapse had spread across more than just a hundred Realm Domains in breadth. The contained power of Dao Collapse had even caused the myriad Daos of many Realm Domains to experience collapse.
This terrifying scene made people shudder all the more at the fearsomeness of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor.
Not only was his own Dao collapsing, it was even seriously affecting the outside world, causing the myriad Daos of the outside world to collapse as well.
They all knew that, on one hand, it was because the Chaos Heavenly Emperor himself was too powerful, standing at the strongest level of Half-Step Overlord, infinitely close to the Taishang realm. On the other hand, it was because he primarily cultivated the Chaos Great Dao, and Chaos was the origin of all Daos. That was why his Dao Collapse was so terrifying.
Many of the Supreme Ones, and even peerless Giants, stationed outside the Pangu Pass couldn't help but change expression upon seeing this.
Because the scene of Dao Collapse was even beginning to affect their own foundational Emperor Daos.
Cultivating to the Supreme One level, one no longer relied on external Daos, but focused on one's own foundational Emperor Dao.
But the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's Dao Collapse was truly too terrifying. Silently, it affected their own foundational Emperor Daos, actually causing a slight tendency towards collapse to appear.
Of course, they controlled it immediately, but on the other hand, they also sneered inwardly.
For Dao Collapse to reach such a terrifying extent, it seemed the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's fall through Dao Collapse was an inevitable fact.
Otherwise, how could a mere Dao Collapse be serious enough to affect supreme existences of their level, Supreme Ones and above?
The many Supreme Ones of the Pangu Universe also gathered outside the Chaos Heavenly Mansion. By now, they no longer dared to approach the interior of the Chaos Heavenly Mansion at all.
In fact, over these three thousand years, the Chaos Heavenly Mansion had long been completely emptied. All the people of the Chaos Heavenly Mansion had left one after another.
Because from the first moment the Dao Collapse appeared, it had already affected them. To avoid continued influence, they had been relocated one after another.
The Chaos Heavenly Mansion had also been sealed by the joint efforts of multiple Supreme Ones of the Pangu Universe, who laid down layer upon layer of Supreme Emperor Patterns to prevent the Dao Collapse from further affecting the outside world.
Unfortunately, even so, they could not completely seal it off. Over the years, an unknown number of layers of Supreme Emperor Patterns had been torn apart and shattered by the Dao Collapse. Only because multiple Supreme Ones had persistently guarded this place over the years, tirelessly casting out Supreme Emperor Patterns and continuously reinforcing them, was the Dao Collapse's influence on the outside world not as great.
